Ok, I'm jealous. All of my deadbeat friends have their own homes now and I'm Lamont Sanford living with my mom! [ So I was the lone hold-out? And who you callin' deadbeat, huh??? - SM ] I need to figure out how I'm going to build my home/shop in Boyd and make it happen. Of course, helping John move on Saturday reminded me of how much moving sucks. Hmm, you know Lamont Sanford seemed pretty comfortable with his station in life. Then again, it would be nice to start over with a clean shop. I'm going to have to hire a maid for my house at the very least. The one week mom was away proved that my slovenliness would spiral out of control were I left on my own. Perhaps that would be the one thing about marriage that could sell it. Of course I couldn’t marry another slob or the whole point of the experiment would be lost. No, a maid will be cheaper I think. Speaking of the place in Boyd, I went to one of those online mortgage places to see what’s what. I don’t even pretend to understand the way banking works! I just erased a whole big thing about “one month fixed interest” versus “thirty year fixed interest” and how I don’t understand how the monthly payments can vary so dramastically. It told y’all a bit too much about me. More financial info than I wanted to share. I'm sure Spiderman would have censored it some to help protect my interests but the point might have been lost. What I don’t get is how “fixing” the interest for the whole term DOUBLES the monthly payment, and therefore the whole note, over “fixing” the interest for just one month. [ Because when the interest goes up next month, your payments will be back at the fixed interest payement rate, then in a year or so, they will eclipse it. - SM ] Well, the douche bags in the AOB have fucked up a piece of equipment. I have to go for a bit. I'm back but only to say I'm done for the day. I spent a few hours fixing that thing then had lunch. I finally made it back to my desk at 1535 and I'm off to the internot to waste the last half hour of the day. Talk to you tomorrow.
